Case Study Three: Designing a Custom Part

Note: Because of proprietary products and confidentiality commitments, Nelson Steel Products is unable to mention specific customers or products by name.

Challenge: Customer desperately needed part formerly supplied by a plastic extruder who had gone out of business without notice.

Solution: Designed part, produced from sheet metal and presented prototypes in 24 hours.

Benefit: After adjustments were made in design, Nelson produced and delivered parts in three days so customer could make delivery on time and suffer no interruption in product flow.
